I recommend you get yourself innoculated, thus leaving more wrasses for ME!!!!:twised::lol:

Mine actually bit me today, most of the time swims by my hand or rubs against my fingers, very curious, but I had my back turned moving something in the corner of the tank and he bit the back of my arm. First fish bite :lol:
Scared me! Hoping to grab a mystery wrasse tomorrow!! Hear it now...."wrasse, wrasse"

I've had this one for a few weeks now. I had the LFS trying for a year to get me one and finally he/she arrived :mrgreen:

If you get a chance stop in at the store and ask Shaun or Chris to show you the purple wrasse in with the Kuiter's. He looks almost identical to yours. He came in as a temeniki but I'm not so sure if it is or not. I've been trying to get a pic but he's impossible to photograph.

I have been bitten but can't fall sick because I have both tanks that are top less so no can do.

Wrasses love to jump. Plus, the only wrasse I have ever had were agressive little bastard...a checkerboard that was attacking my pajama cardinal and a yellow wrasse that could not suffer my mandarins...so that did it for me and the wrasseholes.

Yeah, they can be jumpers so my tank will have a screen top made in the next couple days with 1/4" mesh. So far he's content in my new 8' with a couple other small fish that don't harass him so he hasn't jumped.
He's super cute but he freaked me out when I brought him home. While acclimating he "played possum" I thought he had kicked the bucket but nope he was pretending :lol:

Wrasses are like CRACK! Once you start you just can't STOP!
I've got a beautiful Mystery Wrasse, and now I've got a Hawaiian Flame Wrasse and a Labouti Wrasse ordered.
